Brief Historical Sketch of Detroit 

ETROIT was founded by Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac [in 
July, 1701, and the twenty-one decades of its history have 
been most interesting. 

After the site was chosen, a palisade enclosure was erected and 
^ called Fort Pontchartrain, after the minister of Louis IV. 

Detroit is one of the few American cities that has been under 
^^' three flags, two of them twice. The French ruled until 1760, when 
the English became masters until 1796, General Wayne conquering 
this region for the new Republic. 

I In 1813, the English again assumed control, but Commodore 
Perry's victory at historical Put-in-Bay, near Detroit, gave the 
entire territory to the United States. 

In 1805 Michigan was formed into a territory with Detroit as 
the Capital, and was admitted to the Union in 1837. The Capital 
; was then moved to Lansing. 

Detroit was destroyed by fire in 1805, which was a blessing in 
disguise, for it resulted in replanning the broad streets, many parks 
and public squares that comprise the Beautiful City of today. 

The rule of Governor and Judges lasted until 1824, when the 
Legislative Council was elected and chosen.

ETROIT is the largest summer resort 
in America, and has for many years 
been the Mecca for legions of tourists 
coming from all parts of the nation to 
enjoy the beauty of its environs, its 
Island Parks, Inland Lakes, wonderful 
water trips, and ideal climatic condi- 
tions. 



Location 

Detroit's central location in the middle west, its broad streets 
and boulevards, its palatial residences, its many wonderful hotels 
and its safe waterways, where thousands of pleasure boats ply dur- 
ing the summer season, have combined to make it an ideal city in 
which to hold conventions, assuring a large attendance and happy 
visitors. 

Detroit possesses that rare combination of a city of beauty and 
one of industry : a class of industry that calls for the world's most 
skilled workmen; a beauty that has caused visitors to exclaim 
"TRULY, A CITY WHERE LIFE IS WORTH LIVING."

Detroit — A Summer Resort 

Detroit has for many years been the objective point of the tour- 
ists, who take advantage of the many dehghtful trips by water, as 
well as the beautiful inland lakes that are adjacent. 

Detroit offers all of the advantages of a summer resort w ith none 
of the disadvantages. Climatic conditions are ideal, in the same 
latitude as Boston, Mass. The cool breezes from the Great Lakes 
give Detroit an average temperature in the summer time that is 
not surpassed by many points farther north.

Belle Island 



This famous Island Park owned by the people has no equal in 
any part of the world for beauty and refined, attractive, educa- 
tional features. 

Its special features include an aquarium with all species of fresh 
and salt water fish; a horticultural building with plant life gathered 
from the four corners of the world; one of the best zoological gar- 
dens of America; fine bathing beach; public bath house with 900 
rooms; yacht and boat clubs; beautiful casinos; miles of canal for 
boating and magnificent boulevards for autoists; a five and one- 
half mile shore drive; band concerts and other attractions. 



Marine Post Office 

The only Marine Post Office in the world is located at Detroit. 
Here is an interesting sight to see the United States Mail Boat re- 
ceiving and delivering mail from the stream of immense freighters 
which are constantly passing. Mail received and distributed by 
this Marine Post Office equals the amount that would be handled 
in a city of 50,000.

Palatial steamers ply between Detroit and Belle Isle. Ride idl day on these steamers for 15 cents. 



The Detroit River 

The wonderful Detroit River never goes on a rampage. It re- 
mains throughout the year at just about the same level and is as 
safe as a mill pond. The finest fleet of passenger steamers on fresh 
water in the world hail from this port. As an evidence that they 
are popular, it is only necessary to state that during the last season 
they accommodated more than 12,000,000 passengers, three times 
as many as sailed from all other Great Lake ports combined — all 
this without the loss of a single life.

The resources of this marvelous country — greater than the area 
of the United States — can scarcely be realized unless a study is 
made of them. 

In visiting Detroit, the great Dominion of Canada may be 
reached with very little effort on the part of the stranger. A fleet 
of ferry boats ply between Detroit and the pretty little Canadian 
city of Windsor, Ontario. 

Canada has always been a Mecca for visitors who are desirous 
of taking a trip "abroad" and mailing back the irresistible post 
card. 

Here soldiers in uniform of the King may be seen on every hand 
foreign flags and customs are most interesting to visitors from the 
United States.

as in Detroit. This is largely due to the establishment and develop- 
ment of Branch Banks, of which there are 123 in operation. This 
has done away with the establishment of the small outlying banks 
which have been a source of weakness to practically all of the large 
cities of the country. 

Detroit has 13 State Banks, 3 National Banks and 4 Trust 
Companies. The aggregate resources of the twenty institutions 
are in excess of $429,143,000.00. 

The total capital, surplus and undivided profits of the banks 
aggregate $48,192,649.00, whereas the total deposits aggregate 
$348,686,000.00. 



The clearings for Detroit banks for 1910 were $910,835,007.00; 
1916, $2,260,574,000.00; 1917, $2,749,173,375.00.

^2 BE A UTIFUL DETROIT 

Some One-Day-Trip Suggestions 

One of the most popular features of Detroit is the fact that it 
is surrounded by so many beautiful and interesting spots, 
places that can be reached by boats and trolleys, away in the 
morning and back in the evening. Some place new to go every 
day and all different, is the way it has been expressed a million 
times. 

Cedar Point, on Lake Erie, noted for its bathing and numerous 
summer attractions. Steamers Kirby and Put-in-Bay from 
Detroit. 

River Riding is one of the summer pastimes at Detroit, the 
D. & W. Ferry Company operating the finest fleet of excursion 
steamers on fresh water in the world; hours and hours, up and 
down the river, just enjoying life, at a cost that is not greater than 
riding in a street car in your own city. 

Belle Isle is known the world over for its beauty. Steamer 
every ten minutes from the foot of Woodward Avenue, also 
Jefferson Avenue car line to the Boulevard and thence automobile 
bus line operated by the City of Detroit; automobile fare six 
cents round trip. 

Put-in-Bay, historic and beautiful island located in Lake 
Erie; fine bass fishing, bathing beach, boating, etc. Reached by 
steamer Frank E. Kirby and steamer Put-in-Bay. 

Chatham, Ontario; superb boat ride from Detroit up the 
beautiful and picturesque Thames River. 

Amherstburg, a quaint old Canadian town near mouth 
of Detroit River, overlooking Lake Erie; reached by the D. & W. 
boats and electric cars from Windsor; also good auto roads. 

Port Huron, overlooking Lake Huron, five hours from Detroit; 
White Star Line and D. & C. steamers; Grand Trunk and D. U. R. 
interurban. 

The Flats, called the "Venice of America," about 20 miles 
from Detroit and the finest water ride in the world; paradise for 
fishermen; reached thrice daily by W^hite Star Line boats; fine 
motor boat trip. 

Sugar Island, at mouth of Detroit River, overlooking Lake 
Erie; reached by White Star Line steamers from Detroit and 
Toledo. Fine picnic park, bathing and numerous summer attrac- 
tions. 

BoB-Lo, popular and attractive island in Detroit River, 
reached by D. & W. steamers. Athletic field, bathing, boating, 
dancing and modern cafe. 

Tashmoo Park, a beautiful summer spot at the Flats, reached 
only by White Star Line steamers; athletic field, picnic grounds, 
boating and fishing.
